I thought that the correct answer to these was making a loop on the right, merging the lines.

Unfortunately it's hard to join the tag end of one infinity to the tag end of another infinity to allow traversing both completely

I don't really think it's even sensible to talk about the tag end of an infinity. The bitten/bitter end is at 1, the tag end at infinity in this mental model. I feel that is the correct way to use rope terms for imagined embodied infinities as the small end is clearly bitten to (tied to) zero while the other end is free
